Fun
with Scientologists and their critics
Although Scientology is an evil, dangerous and very
litigous cult, alt.religion.scientology
can sometimes be a funny place. Laughing about evil is no protection, but
it helps.
Clams
Critics
have found extremely silly texts in the Scientology 'literature'. Are you
scared about jaw pain ? The reason may be the clam
engram. No wonder that the snapping sound of the clams will soon be
registered
as a trademark, although the Smithsonian Institute
denies any human-clam evolutionary link. And here's a cartoon: John Lennon lectures the clams. And watch Long Beach Clam Cam. Watch Thus spoke Clamathustra (animation).
You
may want to know how Scientology is expanding in parallel
universes. Did you hear that claim in Fact
vs. Fiction (The response of the "church" against the TIME article)
that 1,500,000 millions of South African children were taught how to read
and learn through Scientology "study technology" ? You don't believe it,
e.g. because even current cult leader David Miscavige didn't finish high
school ? Well, it was a clandestine operation.

their clambake contest. Bay Networks does not endorse or sponsor this site.

The Church of the Government Protected Word
For Jeff Jacobsen, it wasn't enough to criticize the cult. He founded his
own religion, the Church
of the Government Protected Word. This Church promises to improve
your personality. Did someone call you a bozo ? Well, Jeff has the
answer to check this: the bozo prep-check [tm].
Feeling pain ? No problem, Doctor Hubbard is in, and will help
you. Wondered how auditing really works ? Here's
the answer.
Dioretix, Diarrhetics, Scienetics, Apelomatics, Diapetics, DianeTech, Psychotonomy,
Selfosophy, Epizootics, Neurotology
In the movie Repo
Man with Emilio
Estevez we discover Dioretix: The Science of Matter over Mind.
In the scene where Otto (Estevez) is talking to Miller while he's burning
trash in an oil drum, there's a brief shot of Otto holding a copy of the
book (screenshot), then throwing it into the fire. Almost at the end, there's another
brief scene where two of the government agents discover they've both read
the Book. Watch the movie or read a transcript.
Diarrhetics is presented by National
Lampoon magazine: Leave the thinking to us - over 10,000,000 purged.
Watch out for a new religion: Scienetics, a parody ad by the
Premiere
Radio Network. Listen
to it or read the transcript - and buy Scienetics
today!
There is also Apelomatics:
The Modern Pseudoscience of Mental Dentistry. Recommended by Prangor
the Fraudulent!
Diapetics was invented by Ira Wallach.
Brandnew in 1998: DianeTech,
Applied Spiritual Linguistic Technology
In August 1999, the Upright Citizen's Brigade presented a sketch on
Psychotonomy. Watch it in RealVideo
or read a viewer's comment. Have a cookie!
Episode 209 of the television series Millennium was centered
around a group called "Selfosophy". Watch a
description of Selfosophy.
Epizootics was a spoof of Dianetics, written by Gershon Legman in 1950 in the short-lived magazine Neurotica. It was reprinted 1963 in Paul Krassner's magazine The Realist, and rediscovered 2008 in the blog of Dana Goodyear.
Neurotology (including Diametrics and Cerebellics) was presented by Saturday Night Live on 4.4.2015 as a spoof ad. (Search for it on youtube or vimeo, links get deleted quickly)
Psychics at work
Scientologists believe they have psychic powers. John Holifield stopped
the rain, so that a lady and her two kids could cross over. Very useful
for driving students is Ken Long's ability to shrink
a car or widen the road. Other success stories are even more
amazing: a girl managed to increase her breast size
- a real threat for manufacturers of padded bras. Some people are not convinced,
a poster from down under says: I don't need no steenkin'
OT powers !
OT's are known to kill with a thought. Luckily, you can protect
you, with the help of the Anti-OT device from Kwantem
Industries. (see
the original press release). Don't picket an org wihout it!

Is Bill Gates a Scientologist ?
by Werner
Tiki Küstenmacher; found in PC Professionell 12/95, p.290, translated
by me
It was only a matter of time that the idea would come up that Bill Gates
is a member of the Scientology cult. This is a silly twisting of the facts.
Ron Hubbard, the legendary cult founder, was nothing more than one of the
first cyborgs, which the very young E.T. alias Bill Gates built in his
garage and programmed in GW-BASIC. This explains also the BASIC-like thinking
of the group. If someone looks at the almost non-existant facial expressions
of Scientologists Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman or Priscilla Presley, he will
involuntarly be reminded of the design of a 8080 processor. No wonder that
the logical deepness of the movement still hasn't reached beyond 8 bit.
Werner Tiki Küstenmacher is a protestant minister, cartoonist and author.
Monster under bed
We usually handle monsters under the beds of our children this way: we
either persuade that there aren't any monster there, or we say "I have
removed the monster, he won't annoy you again".
An OT with the name J.T. (John Travolta ?) has this report, published
in "Advance!", page 89:
My three-and-a-half year old son woke up in the middle of the
night and came to my room, telling me he was scared. I talked to him briefly,
and sent him back to bed, and he went back to sleep. Next thing I knew
he was crying again. My roommate said, "I think there's something in there."
So I scanned his room for entheta influences. There it was - a churning,
large massy ball was hovering near the doorway. I blew that apart and away,
and my son went right to sleep. I didn't have to think, wonder, talk, or
even get out of bed.
Lost in the desert
part one
From richmann@videotron.ca:
Two Scientologists have been lost in the desert for almost a week.
It is now Thursday 13:45. One says to the other:
– "This can't go on. We've been lost for too long! ... How much money
have you got on you ?"
– "750.00$...??...why ?"
– "Quick, think of a course you would like to do, that cost around
750.00$"
– "What ?...Why ?"
– "Because within 15 minutes, a registrar will find us !"
part two
I read this joke in the newspaper in a different form. Here it is, rewritten
for Scientologists:
A technician, a scientist and a Scientologist are lost in the
desert. Suddenly a can of food falls from the sky. They discuss how to
open it.
The technician: "We'll hit it until it breaks".
The scientist: "I will take off my glasses, bundle the sunlight on the
can, it will pop up and the food will be cooked."
The Scientologist: "Get your ethics in! I will postulate a can-opener".

Do you like limericks?
There was a young chap from St. Hill
Who swallowed a niacin pill
His liver imploded
His body exploded
His thetans are now in Brazil. |
by Paulette
Cooper, 14.6.1997
An evil space warlord named Xenu
Had too many thetans to see to.
He turned them to ice,
Showed them flicks that weren't nice,
Then said, "Go implant Wogs who can't see you." |
